WOOL FIRES COMMISSION.
REPORT LAID BEFORE THE HOUSE. By Telegraph—Press Association. WELLINGTON, July 5. The report of the Wool Fires Com- • mission, laid before the House to-day, recommends —(1) That it be compulsory on shippers to have the nature or class of their wool clearly marked on outside of each bale; (2) that sheepskins should be inspected under the same conditions as wool; (3) that tow should be inspected under the same conditions as wool; (4) that flax and tow should be covered, if possible, with material less inflammable than hessian; (5) that wool should not be stored with oil, fat, tallow, tow or flax, or in contact with packages containing any of these products or in contact with any other material more readily combustible than wool itself; (6) that, in our opinion, every ship carrying cargo wholly or partly composed of wool, flax, tow or other combustible material, should be fitted with an adequate chemical fire extinguishing system.
